Thank You, Ramblings, & Christmas Gifts~

Hi everyone.

I just want everyone to know that I am so truly thankful for all of your prayers and well wishes for my dad. I haven't heard anything else other than he is to visit his Neurologist and then have rehab today.

That's the hard thing about living a million miles away from a loved one, you feel so helpless.

 I have been working so hard these last couple of days trying to work through these feelings of sadness over my dad. So, I am trying to keep busy with my family to keep my mind occupied. My hubby and I have been playing a lot of Scrabble at night when the boys are sleeping, and that seems to help, especially when I win :)! 

I am so determined to do things differently in my life this year.

I just read the most beautiful post on Anne's blog, and I have the same wish for the New Year.

 So, if you haven't read Anne's post, stop by and read it and be inspired.

This year I am doing something I have been wanting to do forever!

I've been wanting to start Yoga for the past 10 years, I know, that's a long time, so next week, I will be starting my beginners Yoga class. I am hoping this will help not only my body but my mind and spirit as well. 

At this Yoga studio, they have heated Yoga. Has anyone taken a heated Yoga class? How was it?

This is when the room is heated and it is suppose to help prevent injury to your muscles when stretching and also helps to detox the body.

I don't think I'll start out in the heated class though, I wouldn't want to pass out on my first visit! :)

 I thought I'd show you some of the gifts my husband and boys gave me for Christmas.

My husband purchased all of my gift's on the internet this year. This lovely vintage French desert/cake plate came from a wonderful shop on Etsy.

This wonderful old chippy gray scale came from the same shop.

Hubby also got me this wonderful vintage French Nun's Rosary which came from this great shop in L.A called "Vintage Weave Interiors". They have gorgeous things and have an online shop as well.

 Thank you boys for my amazing gifts!!!

I am so fortunate to have the most amazing husband and son's, and believe me, I know how fortunate I am! I thank God everyday!!!

I got one other thing, but I need to find the perfect spot for it first before I show you. It is super heavy, so I'm having a hard time lugging it around.

Again, thank you for your continued prayers and I'll let you know when I hear anything else about my dad.

Happy New Year everyone!!

Sincerely,

Melinda
